ST. GEORGE — An early morning break-in at the Utah State Liquor Store just off St. George Boulevard Friday morning proved that the suspect was obviously not out to make a profit.

Officers responded to the store at 161 N. 900 East at 4:30 a.m. after a glass-breakage alarm was received. Officers found a broken plate glass window at the front of the store, St. George Police Sgt. Rich Triplett said. A small amount of blood evidence was found at the scene as well.
The store’s surveillance footage showed the suspect entering the store and leaving with one bottle of liquor, Triplett said.
The suspect remains at large.
This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement and may not contain the full scope of findings.

Maybe if the state would give up it’s immoral monopoly on alcoholic beverages this poor fellow would have been able to find his weekend enjoyment at a privately run liquor store. Utah, we don’t want Democrats telling us what to do because it gets in the way of the Republicans telling us what to do. (or “Utah, Freedom and Liberty, as long as we tell you it’s o.k.”)
This is not good because now the LDS Church didn’t get their 10 % . they are going to hunt him down for that. !

I know the feeling. Always getting caught tends to keep you on the straight and narrow.
Amen

One bottle?!?! Must have been drunk or stupid. If your going to burglarize the liquor store, make it worth the jail stay and fines. Duh.
